Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29415 E

The SKF 29415 E single-direction axial self-aligning roller bearing (75x160x51 mm) accommodates heavy axial loads and compensates for misalignment during operation.

The SKF 29415 E axial self-aligning roller bearing is designed for industrial applications where heavy axial loads occur. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), this bearing is characterised by its dimensional stability and load-carrying capacity. Thanks to the crowned rollers and the spherical raceway of the housing disc, the bearing adjusts to angular misalignment. This design compensates for misalignment or shaft deflection during operation, thereby counteracting edge pressure on the roller edges.

For which loads and installation situations is the 29415 E suitable?

This rolling bearing is typically used in designs where axial forces in a single direction are the primary load. In addition to the main axial forces, the design can also withstand moderate radial loads. Thanks to its wide temperature range of –30 to +200 degrees, the component is also suitable for installation spaces subject to thermal stress. Typical applications are found in heavy machinery and plant engineering, where angular misalignment between the shaft and housing may occur.

What design features characterise the version with a sheet steel cage?

When designing the bearing mounting, the main dimensions – a 75 mm bore, 160 mm outer diameter and 51 mm width – must be taken into account. The SKF Explorer bearing design features an optimised internal geometry and finely machined contact surfaces. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements precisely and withstands the mechanical stresses of continuous operation. As the bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, it can be integrated into standardised housing and shaft fits.
